Is Libsyn dying? I'm trying to get support and it's all bots. Also, all the help articles are five years old. They're still putting out a few blog posts now and then but it feels like a sleepy town made obsolete by the railroad. Anybody switch to a host they like better? (and doesn't farm your data)

Genuinely, as someone who plays several live service games I always have a checklist that's like
- Ask yourself if you're having fun
- Never have a "forever game", play or read or do other stuff alongside it
- Don't set paid subs to auto-renew
- Think about what you want, not what the game wants

it's a neat idea! probably requires a founding studio that gets WAY more freelance opportunities than they can or want to do, and clients that aren't super control freaky about which studio in the collective they work with. Do those exist?
Is there like a guild or co-op or something for indie game studios where they can join up to work on work for hire contracts that pay out to all of the member studios so that there is continual work while each studio can work on their own games at the same time? Is that a thing?

Difficult realization that we're financially at our limit. I need work yesterday to support my wife and I. At this point, anything goes. Full time, part time, you pay and I code for you.

Any rule in a board game can & will be missed or forgotten by someone. So increasingly when deciding whether to add a rule, I consider whether it "fails gracefully." If you forget that rule, does the whole game halt or break? Or does it continue functioning (albeit with a minor loss in quality)?
